And how awesome to have a friend who wants your yarn ends and the stash that doesn&#39;t quite work out! That is truly amazing. Now you need to find a friend who likes to gift you her gorgeous stash when you want some new yarn without cost or bother. :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-30824405945041678072017-01-01T13:22:56.479-05:002017-01-01T13:22:56.479-05:00I have long been a big fan of recycling yarn from ...I have long been a big fan of recycling yarn from sweaters that don&#39;t quite hit the mark, but I&#39;ll admit it&#39;s a task I loathe. I&#39;m lucky that my Ma thinks its a very relaxing way to spend a couple of hours and is happy to take on the task.<br /><br />For me that&#39;s the best of both worlds.<br /><br />I&#39;m also blessed by a very good friend who is exceptionally frugal, so if I decide the yarn isn&#39;t quite for me, then she&#39;ll happily take it off my hands and knit it up for friends and family. <br /><br />It does mean that all yarn is used (she gets my ends of balls as well for mitts and blankets) so its a very good system we&#39;ve got going on here! ;-)pendlestitcheshttps://pendlestitches.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-40041944617952325622016-12-22T09:02:05.634-05:002016-12-22T09:02:05.634-05:00Hilarious!Hilarious!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-32053275273710077422016-12-22T09:01:50.964-05:002016-12-22T09:01:50.964-05:00I love the story of your unfinished sweater!

My &quot;19 year&quot; sweater is somewhat dated in design, but I am positive it will come back any day now...and after spending 19 years knitting it, cables and all, I won&#39;t be ripping it out anytime soon. I have been doing lots of sewing, and rip it, rip it when necessary....<br />Barbbbarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399421440007975826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-42220219965430330112016-12-21T12:26:39.103-05:002016-12-21T12:26:39.103-05:00Oooh - how fun that you just picked up your needle...Oooh - how fun that you just picked up your needles again last week! And really, don&#39;t worry about ripping back (even if the ends are woven in). It&#39;s NOT as bad as you think and you will be so glad you fixed the socks. Just think - they&#39;re little! How long can it take :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-59979158416170889002016-12-21T10:14:43.539-05:002016-12-21T10:14:43.539-05:00Masochistic, evolved, AND cost-effective.

But I do have my first pair of crocheted socks, ends woven in, that I need to rip back to redo the heel... I&#39;ve been dreading it and making excuses to avoid it, but you&#39;ve inspired me to give it a try before 2016 ends.Keilexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829409796775187413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-22386995678525005932016-12-20T09:11:08.688-05:002016-12-20T09:11:08.688-05:00I am AMAZED by those people.

I once met someone who unravelled everything she knit. I think she liked the activity of knitting and had no interest in creating a finished project. Ever. So she just knit until she came to the end of the yarn, ripped it all out, and started again. I wonder sometimes how long she could go with the same yarn . . . but it gave me a new perspective on the whole activity.Mapmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183642128130259266noreply@blogger.com
